Scheduled method is called during the tests

java, scheduled-tasks, spring-boot, testing

Solution

You can extract `@EnableScheduling` to a separate configuration class like:

@Configuration
@Profile("!test")
@EnableScheduling
class SchedulingConfiguration {
}

Once it's done, the only thing that is left is to activate "test" profile in your tests by annotating test classes with:

@ActiveProfiles("test")

Possible drawback of this solution is that you make your production code aware of tests.

Alternatively you can play with properties and instead of annotating `SchedulingConfiguration` with `@Profile`, you can make it `@ConditionalOnProperty` with property present only in production `application.properties`. For example:

@SpringBootApplication
public class DemoApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
    }

    @Configuration
    @ConditionalOnProperty(value = "scheduling.enabled", havingValue = "true", matchIfMissing = true)
    @EnableScheduling
    static class SchedulingConfiguration {

    }
}

Scheduler will not run in tests when you do one of following:

add property to `src/test/resources/application.properties`:

scheduling.enabled=false

customize `@SpringBootTest`:

`@SpringBootTest(properties = "scheduling.enabled=false")`

Problem

I'm developing a SpringBoot application using Maven. I've a class with the `@Component` annotation which has a method `m` with the `@Scheduled(initialDelay = 1000, fixedDelay = 5000)` annotation. Here `fixedDelay` can be set to specify the interval between invocations measured from the completion of the task. I've also the `@EnableScheduling` annotation in the main class as: ``` @SpringBootApplication @EnableScheduling public class FieldProjectApplication { public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(FieldProjectApplication.class, args); } } ``` Now whenever I run the tests, defined as : ``` @RunWith(SpringRunner.class) @SpringBootTest public class BankitCrawlerTests { ... } ``` the scheduled task `m` is also run every 5 seconds. Of course I just want to run the scheduled task whenever the application runs. How can I do it (i.e. prevent the scheduled task to run when a test is run)?
